Thanksgiving Point~Dinos!

Today after lunch, we took a drive up to Thanksgiving Point, north of Lehi and south of Salt Lake City. There are many fun things to do here, such as shopping, children's discovery garden, botanical gardens, visiting a farm or seeing a movie, but we chose to explore the Museum of Ancient Life.
I had brought my sons here when they were 4 years old and they loved it then. I wanted to bring Jenna here, especialy since she loves dinosaurs so much.

Even 6 years older than their last visit, Jax and Jem still had a great time. And so did Jenna!

Lots of awesome murals outside!
Fun places to discover and explore around every corner!
Just as when the boys were 4 years old, they still spent lots of time playing at the Erosion Table. I even had to encourage Jenna to leave as she was in a wonderful imagination land full of swamps, floods, beaches, mountains, islands and dinosaurs.


We also enjoyed building dinos with 'spare' parts. Jeremiah is behind the dino checking out the world map and the locations where different species of dinos roamed and when.
Jenna fell in love with this baby dino.
A huge model of a Megaladon shark. Scary!
The fossil dig room was a huge hit, too!
